(best image yet of a) Match Slapper: Steve
I'm only mildly disappointed that there can be no material about cowardly (Rex) Lions, nor Toto and not being able to call Johnny Dorothy.
There was perhaps an element of the Scarecrow in our play tonight. Their first pair (note that Mitch is ordinarily a Flogger) were kept honest at 32 yet we immediately followed half the wickets taken with multiple wides. After 8 overs the Lions had amassed 119 - Ross and Mark have consistently scored heavily this season but we are not likely to allow them 87 runs when next we meet.
The Skipper perhaps bore the worst brunt of this onslaught, leaving the court bleeding in over 7, hampered for the remainder with a heavily strapped bowling hand. It is interesting that his running repairs and return to the fray was achieved in as timely a manner as Lenno’s mid-innings urination.
Keano (-12) and Nachos (-3) did a number on the third pair to keep the total in some sort of check as did Johnny’s final over of the innings. His three wickets stopping dead what was looming as a large closing from the Lions - despite Matty giving him a bit of a touch up straight down the court from successive balls faced.
Our batting never got into gear. Lenno and Keano suffered a reversal from what has been generally fine form, Jamie and Richo solid as ever but for being double-played in the power over. In attempting to give the boys something to aim at in the last 4 overs, Match Slapper Slem was hampered by his partner. The Skip must wonder where next to hide yours truly in the batting line up. We weren't in the hunt but Johnny and K6 aimed up and overcame some very dodgy arithmetic in the power over to ensure our second skin of the evening, denying The Lions maximum points.
It's clear enough that we were beaten by the better side on the night et al but we did learn a few things. Next week we're up against ICAA who appear to built around one bloke, last rounds player of the week, "H". You can't take a bloke who goes by a one character moniker seriously, really.
And finally, for the true tragics, at the base of the page a new feature. That's right, I need to get out more.

the skip was a tad expensive
I think what you meant to say was that the bleeding and bandaged heroic leader did well under trying circumstances.
Also, if you're going to criticise the Skipper Anony Mouse, put your name to it (click on Name/URL).
